Find out about transitional arrangements and how it affects your bill

Transitional Relief Scheme 2026/27

Transitional relief limits how much your bill can increase each year because of the business rates revaluation.

You’ll get transitional relief if your rates go up by more than a certain amount.

Your business rates bill will be adjusted automatically if you’re eligible.

Transitional Relief Supplement

The government has introduced a 1p in the £ supplement to help fund Transitional relief.

Ratepayers receiving Transitional relief or Supporting Small Businesses relief will not pay the supplement.

This supplement will apply for one year from 1 April 2026.

*Please note our software shows the 1p in the £ supplement on all bills but is then offset within the Transitional relief or Supporting Small Businesses relief calculation.
